High school students invited to design construction phase mural along the future Crenshaw/LAX line

Local high school students are invited to attend a series of free workshops beginning next week to help design a monumental mural that celebrates the neighborhood surrounding the Crenshaw/Expo Station. Students will have the opportunity to work with a professional artist from artworxLA, and delve into the landmarks, streets and residents who have made the area special as part of the process.

The mural will be on view during the construction phase for the future Crenshaw/LAX line.

A diverse range of site-specific artworks are integrated into the growing Metro System, improving the visual quality of transit environments and creating a sense of place. From photography installations to onboard posters, art tours and live performances, our multifaceted arts programs add vibrancy and engage communities throughout Los Angeles. We present music, dance, poetry readings and film screenings at historic Union Station, raising its profile as a cultural destination while simultaneously creating incentives to “Go Metro.”

The recipient of numerous awards, Metro Art has been recognized for our varied approaches to integrating the arts into the transit experience, and for engaging artists at all levels of their careers.
